Babyboomer should be a swear word

I have learned, by sad experience, that the overwhelming majority of babyboomers with whom I have worked, voted for, been supervised and evaluated by or been associated with are very good at one thing...doing everything in their power, perceived or real, to stay in control.

Control. Power. I believe that most of them lay in bed at night, white knuckling their superhero bed sheets, pulled up next to their nostrils, puffing in and out, wide-eyed with raving fear, culling Machiavellian strategies for Inquisition-like behaviors for the next day's ear-mark of controls.

I'd like to extend a personal, wax-sealed invitation to those I've mentioned above...you know who you are, with your blood-shot eyes and black finger tips - GET OUT OF MY WAY.

You've done enough. I'm sure there's more destruction and mayhem to cause, but if you take inventory of your handy work, you'll see nothing but red, so leave. Please. Do whatever it is you have to do and just get out of the way.

We're going to get the planet eventually. All of your plastic work and manipulation of the gene pool will only seal your fate. You'll be unable to function, all you'll be able to do is watch as we dismantle, repair, pound your excesses into powder.

Please. Go. Now.

Due to baby boomers I'm now on the HOA board (along with 2 others). Not cool cause I wanted to be one of those people that didn't have to worry about all the decions made in the HOA. So already we have the 2 baby boomers trying to tell us how things should be and how we "just don't understand the problems" because we don't feel the same way they do about it. Perhaps the issue isn't that we don't understand; perhaps we just disagree with their proposed solutions?

Stay out of my way boomers!!
